This is a prospective, randomized phase II trial. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of two therapeutics strategies. Patients with borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) will be randomly in two arms : neoadjuvant mFolfirinox followed with or without preoperative chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine.
The goal of this study is to investigate whether the therapeutic response of pancreatic tumors can be accurately assessed using quantitative DCE-MRI, when the inter/intra-scanner variability is reduced using the Point-of-care Portable Perfusion Phantom, P4. The intra-scanner variability over time leads to errors in therapy monitoring, while the inter-scanner variability impedes the comparison of data among institutes. The P4 is small enough to be imaged concurrently in the bore of a standard MRI scanner with a patient for real-time quality assurance. The P4 is safe, inexpensive and easily operable, thus it has great potential for widespread and routine clinical use for accurate diagnosis, prognosis and therapy monitoring.
This study has identified two arms, one arm is healthy individuals that will undergo DCE MRI at three different MRI locations to establish baseline results. The healthy volunteers will undergo these MRIs prior to the second arm, which contains patients with pancreatic cancer. The pancreatic cancer patients will only have DCE MRI done at one location.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the use of dose-escalated MRI-guided irradiation increases the rates of disease control in patients with pancreatic cancer
The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically characterized, whole blood specimens to evaluate biomarkers associated with cancer for diagnostic assay development.
This projectis aim to evaluate the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) on the malignant ascites of patients with advanced gastric, pancreatic and biliary tract cancers.
The aim of the study is to evaluate technical, clinical and safety outcomes of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) with and without a coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomies (CDS) for the management of biliary obstruction.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and assess the DLT of JAB-3312. It is anticipated that approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in the dose-escalation phase of the study. JAB-3312 will be administered orally once daily (QD) in 21-day treatment cycles.
To determine the feasibility and toxicity of neoadjuvant hypofractioned radiotherapy concurrently with weekly gemcitabine and an EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (OSI-774, Tarceva) in the treatment of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.
The primary purpose of this phase I study is to determine the safety of combining replication-competent adenovirus-mediated suicide gene therapy with chemoradiotherapy in patients with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) plus gemcitabine as first-line treatment in Chinese patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
